Villa River 2.5 Seater Custom Sofa — Fabric

Villa River 2.5 Seater — Compact Scandinavian Sofa with Removable Covers | Made to Order

Unwind on the River — a soft, low two-and-a-half seater designed with Scandinavian flair and calm, made for the smaller rooms.

Deep, clean-lined and easy to live with, it sits on a sprung seat with soft high-resilience foam — loose cushions, a relaxed loose fit, and removable covers that lift off for cleaning. It's the compact sofa that doesn't give up comfort: sink into it with a book and the afternoon quietly gets away from you. Made to order in your fabric, on a choice of legs, with an optional matching footstool.

Why the Villa River 2.5 Seater Justifies the Price

A 2.5 seater is the size you choose for a smaller room, and the River makes it a comfortable one rather than a compromise. It's a clean, Scandinavian design with a soft, sprung seat you settle into, loose cushions and removable covers that keep it easy to live with. It's made to order in your fabric, on a choice of legs, with an optional matching footstool. Like the rest of the Villa collection, it carries FSC-certified wood and Oeko-Tex® certified upholstery.

Villa River 2.5 seater Custom sofa - FAQs

Is the River 2.5 seater good for a small room?

Yes — a 2.5 seater fits a compact living room, a snug or a second space where a full three-seater won't. The River keeps a clean, low profile, so it doesn't crowd a smaller room, and it's soft enough to properly relax into. Send us your room measurements and we'll confirm it fits.

Is it a soft sofa?

Yes — it's built to be soft, with a sprung seat and high-resilience foam. The seat is composed of HR soft foam (35 kg/m3) while the back is made of fibre ball and chopped foam mix.

Are the covers removable?

Yes. The River has loose cushions, a loose fit and removable covers, so covers can be taken off for cleaning. Care requirements vary by fabric grade — let us know before ordering if washability is a priority.

What are the cushions filled with?

The seat is sprung with high-resilience foam and a soft fibre-mix; the back cushions are a fibre-ball and chopped-foam mix. The loose cushions benefit from regular plumping to keep their shape.

What legs does it come with?

A choice of finishes — oiled, black, mokka, white oiled or black metal, in two heights. Feel free to contact our team for more questions. 

Is the River available in other sizes?

Yes. This page is the 2.5 seater, but the River is customisable — it comes in other sizes and an L-shape corner. See all River options 

Is the Villa River certified?

Yes. The Villa collection carries FSC certification — the wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests and traceable through production. Upholstery fabrics are Oeko-Tex® certified, containing no allergy-promoting or harmful chemicals.

How long does the River take to arrive?

Approximately 8 weeks from production to delivery.

How does payment work?

You can pay in full at checkout, or choose the 50% deposit option. With the deposit, you're charged 50% today and the remaining 50% is invoiced to you before delivery — you won't be charged the balance until your River is ready.

Can I see the fabrics before I order?

Yes. Fabric samples are available. This is what our consultation is for. See and feel the different fabrics, experience the comfort level and the colours before choosing.

Getting a sofa right for a smaller room is worth a conversation. This is a considered choice — one that shapes how the whole room comes together.

The River 2.5 seater suits a compact space, so the size, the fabric and the fit all matter before you order. Book a free consultation and we'll take you through the options and check it works in your room. In the Douglas showroom, where you can sit on it and feel the fabrics, or by video call to start.

To get the most from it, it helps to have a few things ready:

• Your room measurements — height, width and depth of the space the sofa needs to fit, plus walkways around it
• Photos or a scan of the room — so we can see what we're working with
• An idea of how the room gets used — who's in it and how you like to relax
• Anything you're matching to — paint samples, flooring samples, existing wood or fabric
• Your inspiration — Pinterest boards, saved images, anything that shows the look you're after

We'll take you through the fabric grades and leg options and map the River to your room before anything is ordered.
